how many? Days? Hours? miles?
About 800 miles or so. We went from St George out to Lake Powell/Page, AZ/Glen Canyon on Sunday, seeing the Pink Coral Sand Dunes, Lee's Ferry, Navajo Bridge, and Horseshoe Bend along the way.
Day 2, we trekked across the Navajo Rez, through Kayenta and Monument Valley Tribal Park. We stayed the night in a town just of the Rez called Mexican Hat, named after a rock formation that looks like a giant sombrero. I saw a wild horse taking a drink down by the river. The town only had 21 people, and we met about half of them while we were staying there.
The next day we saw the goosenecks, Bears Ears (Obama's National Monument), Valley of the Gods, Natural Bridges, the north end of Glenn Canyon, then we spent the night in Torrey after visiting Capital Reef NP.
The final day was the legendary Utah Rt 12, which is widely regarded as one of the most scenic drives in the world, and rightfully so. It starts by traversing Boulder Mtn in the Dixie NF. Then it's the main road across the Grand Staircase. After that it traverses Bryce Canyon. Then it drops down Red Rock Canyon.
After that we crossed Cedar Mtn, where it dropped all the way down to 28 degrees. Then back at the house, where it was 87 degrees.
Long story short: we did a giant lap around Lake Powell.
